The monsoon season arrives in India like a cherished guest, bringing with it a sense of romance, relief, and a unique atmosphere perfect for indulging in life’s simple pleasures. But for many, the arrival of the rains also brings a host of old wives’ tales and health-related myths, particularly when it comes to enjoying sweets.
At Mishticue.com, we believe that the monsoon is a season for joyous, guilt-free indulgence. We are committed to crafting authentic sweets that not only taste divine but are also pure, wholesome, and perfect for the season. Let’s debunk some common monsoon sweet myths and put your mind at ease, proving that you can satisfy your sweet cravings with confidence.
Myth vs. Fact: Debunking Monsoon Sweet Myths
Myth 1: You Should Avoid Sweets During the Monsoon Because They’re Hard to Digest.
The Myth: It’s a widely held belief that our digestive fire is weaker during the monsoon due to the high humidity, and therefore, we should avoid rich or heavy foods, including sweets.
The Fact: The truth lies in the quality of the ingredients, not the category of food itself. While heavily processed sweets made with refined oils and artificial additives can be difficult for the digestive system, sweets made with the traditional method and pure ingredients are a different story. Pure ghee, a staple in many traditional mithai, is considered a digestive aid in Ayurveda. It contains butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that helps to nourish the gut lining and support healthy digestion. Our Alwar Kalakand, made with nothing but pure milk and sugar, is a naturally wholesome sweet that is easy on the stomach.
Myth 2: Sweets Spoil Quickly in Monsoon Humidity, So They’re Unsafe to Eat.
The Myth: The high humidity and moisture of the monsoon season are a breeding ground for bacteria and mold, leading to the assumption that all sweets have a short shelf life and must be consumed immediately.
The Fact: The shelf life of a sweet is determined by its moisture content and ingredients, not just the weather. Sweets with a high water activity, like those made with fresh cream, are indeed perishable. However, many authentic Indian sweets are naturally designed for a long shelf life. Our Alwar Kalakand, for instance, is made through a meticulous, slow-cooking process that significantly reduces its moisture content. This is why our sweets can be stored at room temperature without preservatives for an extended period, making them ideal for Pan India delivery even during the monsoon. Storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place is all that’s needed to keep them fresh.
Myth 3: All Sweets Are Unhealthy and Offer No Nutritional Value.
The Myth: In a health-conscious world, sweets are often demonized as empty calories that offer no health benefits. This perception is especially strong during the monsoon when we are advised to boost our immunity.
The Fact: Once again, this myth ignores the power of traditional ingredients. While refined sugar should be consumed in moderation, traditional sweets made with ingredients like nuts, dates, and especially pure ghee, can offer genuine health benefits. As a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), pure ghee is an excellent immunity booster. Our sweets, crafted with these wholesome ingredients, are a source of energy and nourishment that can be enjoyed mindfully as part of a balanced diet.
